Fairlight-CMI

Hi Stephen.

You're in luck - you already have the wavesuper hardware upgrade. All you need is a new Fairlight formatted 4Gbyte hard disc with the 9.34 software, and a new set of ROMs...  

Having backed up all your files, I would then personally remove all the old SCSI drives.. They're heavy, and quite efficient at turning electrical power into heat and noise... 

Also, from memory, revision 8.29 had a floppy "key disc" which you'll no longer need

Members of this group could probably provide you with the above for free, however if you get stuck, contact me at horizontal_productions@hotmail.com 

Regards,

Peter Wielk

Once a system is upgraded to the "last" revision 9.34, very many SCSI devices of up to 4 Gbytes can be used as storage. One can then archive from streamer or 140 Mbyte hard disc onto 4 Gbyte hard drives, or even Compact Flash cards both of which cost only a few dollars each...
